The relationship between psychodrama and fandom is unclear but quite evident in my experience--as I've walked around a convention hotel between midnight & 2 AM, I've frequently seen many tearful females (and less often males) being comforted by someone. It occurs often enough to be humorous, except when you find yourself weeping in the corridor late at night or comforting a soon-to-be ex-girlfriend as her eyes get redder and redder.
